Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 220

What concept does the "A" represent in the DREAD model?

Answer options

• A. Affected users
• B. Authentication
• C. Affinity
• D. Authorization

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Affected users' because in the DREAD model, it specifically refers to the number of users that could be impacted by a security threat. The other options, such as 'Authentication' and 'Authorization', refer to different concepts related to security but do not represent what 'A' stands for in DREAD.
